KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian distributor of the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine has pledged to donate 5,000 doses to the Sabah government.
Kanger International Bhd, a Malaysia-based investment holding company, also donated RM200,000 to the state government to help curb the pandemic.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor thanked the firm for their contribution while receiving a mock cheque from the company s executive director Steven Kuah Choon Ching on Friday (May 21) at the Sabah Administrative Centre building.
Hajiji said, however, the state government would only accept Kanger s offer of the Sinopharm vaccine once it has been given the green light from the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) of the Health Ministry.
The Transport Minister said he received a briefing before he was given his shot yesterday.
“I was given a comprehensive briefing by medical officer Dr Haslinda Rahaman about the Covid-19 vaccine before I was vaccinated by medical assistant Muhamad Bakhrul Ulum Mohd Rashid at the Precinct 18 health clinic in Putrajaya.
“Also there was the head of the clinic, Dr Rozita Zakaria, who is a family medicine specialist, ” he said in a Facebook post, where he also expressed his thanks and gratitude to healthcare workers at the clinic.
“After an hour, which included 30 minutes’ monitoring by the medical staff, I went back to my office at the Transport Ministry to continue with my work, ” he said.
